"Why They Hide"
Discover what’s inside
Understand why you collide
With everyone’s feelings at the same time
Forget that I only lied
Once to you and that was to
Keep you from being the one who
Does what everyone dares them to
And don’t even claim that you’re confused
You know damn well
What I’m saying to you
You know that until
You confess to what you do
Every day
You play
With people’s minds
And wonder why they hide
Leave me alone you say
But you really pray
For the unlikely day
That we will all turn and pay
Our respects to you
Our respects, ha what a mess
Life is ‘vexed’ for you
Vexed, you couldn’t be less
Of a person who keeps
Their feet on the ground
And you ask them what they think
And they run away to burn the town down
Leaving you to look like a clown
You think you know everything
About the people you bring home
And you slave over a hot stove
To be under appreciated
When you yell in their faces
For hating what you’ve made them
We’re kids, this is the way we act
Understand it or take all the things back
Like you’ve promised to do a lot
You break up the ‘fight’ that we’ve fought
And take his side but it’s okay
‘Cause I turned out the way
That you wanted me to
Or I assume
When you
Play every day
With people’s minds
And you still wonder why they hide
Every day
You play
With my mind
And you wonder why I hide
